Working on some Forsake Gods or something, Sky Goddess Emreria #MTG #WIP #AffinityPhoto #ArtNight

A screenshot Affinity Photo on MacOS of a black and white digital illustration of the Eldritch god Emrakul from Magic The Gathering, a sort of twisted winged two armed woman with tentacles for a lower half. In merfolk tradition, Emeria was once the floating home of the sky goddess herself. Pilgrims brought offerings of hedron shards and land fruits, believing the shattered ruins still held her divine essence. In truth, the myth of Emeria reflects ancient, distorted memories of Emrakul’s presence on Zendikar.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Congress doesn't exist anymore, the house has been disbanded effectively. The shutdown is never going to end...It's the point. this way they can permanently shut down all government agencies and programs GOP dislike, no law changes required.
Call it a conspiracy but watch 🤷‍♂️

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

While President Trump’s administration has moved to gut essential nutrition assistance for Americans, the Department of Homeland Security has managed to scrounge up a whopping $10 billion to build immigration detention facilities—and they’re using the U.S. Navy to do it. trib.al/Tr4cDvo

So far in his 2nd term, Trump has:

-Allowed a billionaire to make huge cuts to public services

-Demolished part of the White House for a gilded ballroom funded by private donors

-Accepted $130 million from an anonymous friend to pay troops

This is government for the powerful, not the people.

Yup. It's all a scam by them to exploit workers by another name. Companies did this kind of shit decades ago and our laws haven't caught up. It's depressing 😞

_baerthe @baerthe.com · 1d

No worries, it's hard and it can be harder to be stuck in that kind of position whilst being told by someone who isn't that it's bad. It's not your fault, you're just trying to live 🫂

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

To add on; I don't have a good solution for the workers that these services abuse nor do I know how we can fix our rapidly crumbling economy that only serves the rich. Sadly so, I wish the gig workers would unite as that might be the only legitimate option, as hard as that would be. 😞

What about x, what about y. None of that matters because it was the tech billionaires that designed this system to get around labor laws and all politicians have failed us in preventing it. They're all culpable but they benefit from our weakness. The enemy is and has always been the rich.

_baerthe @baerthe.com · 1d

Fair. Sadly that's the economy we've been pushed into. In some areas it's near impossible to get full time work, let alone part time. It's all contracts or worse, gigs. All it takes is one bad review and you could be banned. There isn't a good solution sadly to the problem the exploiters made. 😩

DoorDash, UberEats, Postmates, et al, are literally scams that deprive people of income; businesses and these "gig" workers suffer for overpriced convience. Stop using them. Period.

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · 1d

Guess it’s time to drop DoorDash too! They donated $1,000,000 to the Cuomo campaign. Leave it to corporations to try to undermine the public
